School provides rigorous math courses. A group of very smart kids pushes up the average stats. Very few average people here, either very advanced or not at all. The environment has improved since years past, with few fights and less drug use for sure. Good if your student has a good work ethic and/or is ambitious in STEM.

This school is unorganized, chaotic, and has very poor communication from the admin. If your child is at all sensitive or different, he or she will be bullied and faces a miserable 3 years.
